“Olivia came through for me in an emergency. I was unable to meet her although I feel confident she did a wonderful job. I could tell she at my home as expected to feed my cat. From the outside camera I could tell my cat was responding well to her. I would 100% hire her again. Thank you for taking care of my home and my cat Olivia.”
“Brenna is reliable and a great communicator. She has pet sit for my cat several times now. She goes above and beyond to make sure she is well cared for. So grateful for Brenna!”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Katrina, and I must say, she exceeded all my expectations! Not only was she incredibly kind and caring, but also showed remarkable flexibility when I needed her help at the last minute. Her ability to accommodate my sudden request was truly a lifesaver, and I was impressed by their professionalism and understanding. My furballs were clearly in good hands, and I received regular updates keeping me informed and at ease. Katrina is not just a pet sitter; she’s a fairy godmother for your pets. Her dedication, compassion, and reliability make her an absolute gem - I highly recommend her to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their pets. Thank you for your exceptional self and for being there when I needed you most! ♥️”
About: I bring a calm, grounded energy that animals seem to trust right away. Whether it’s an active dog who loves going on long walks or steady runs with me, or a quieter pet who needs gentle companionship, I focus on giving each animal the individual attention they deserve. I care deeply about their happiness, comfort, and sense of safety. Pets tend to lean into me quickly, and I make sure they feel seen, loved, and accepted exactly as they are. My goal is to help every animal have a rich, content day while you’re away. I don't work weekends which allows me plenty of time to stay with pets in their homes and keep them on their normal rhythm. I’m available for overnights, drop-ins, and extended stays given enough advanced notice, and I make sure each visit feels calm, consistent, and attended to. Whether your pet needs long walks, runs, playtime, or quiet companionship, I can be there when they need me. If i'm working on a weekday, I can feed and let dogs out or walk them in the morning before I leave and come back late afternoon/early evening for those pets that can manage themselves during the day. Since I don’t host pets in my own home, I focus on providing safe, reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment. I’m attentive to routines, feeding needs, medications, and any special instructions. I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and overall safety, and I’m respectful of your home while I’m staying there. My goal is always to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease, seen, and truly cared for while you’re away.
About: I have four dogs and two cats of my own, and have helped take care of them since I can remember. I just graduated and got my undergraduate degree in Animal Science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo! I have a passion for animals and love to spend time with them! I know the care necessary for dogs and cats as my pets have relied on me for exercise, food, water, and basic care for them. I love going on hikes with my dogs and friends, and love the outdoors! I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of free time to care for your animals! I am free all day and night weekends, as well as weekdays from 8am-2pm. I will go to the clients home and care for the animal how instructed, whether that is taking them for a long walk, letting them out in the yard, keeping them on leash, playing with them, etc!
“I would not hesitate to recommend Melissa. We used her for the first time over a long spring break and she took terrific care of our 2 basset hounds in our home. She sent updates and photos and we could tell the dogs were being well cared for - lots of love and lots of exercise - what else could we ask for? There was a sudden wildfire evacuation later in the day that Melissa left - but before we got home- and she reached out immediately to see if she needed to get the dogs to make sure they were safe. Above and beyond! Terrific communication and a lovely pet sitter whom we will undoubtedly use again.”
“I would highly recommend Aspen to watch your pets! Aspen spent 4 days at our house taking care of our black lab and our cat. During that time, Aspen sent photos & short videos each day, and descriptions of how our pets were doing. I was well-informed, and thus completely without worry the entire time we were away. Upon return, we found that Aspen had left us a detailed description of their adventures, along with anecdotes, and a sweet description of our pets' personalities. It was abundantly clear that they were in good hands. I would not hesitate to book Aspen again!”
“We have 2 very different doggies and Taylor got to know how to work with both of their needs super quickly. One of our pups has some anxiety, but Taylor helped him feel safe from day one and we came home to find our pups very happy and healthy. We will definitely be asking Taylor if he can help us again!”
“Santiago was very flexible and available when I needed a last minute booking for a sitting. Zoey had a great visit and was well taken care of. Santiago made sure to have my place spick and span when I arrived home after a long day of travel and emotional weekend with my family. Most certainly would book again!”
“Jen was great! She stayed at our house for an evening with our two very high energy 1 year old dogs and did a wonderful job. I’d highly recommend her and hope to be able to work her again in the future!”
“Sasha was prompt and professional. Proving regular updates, putting my worried mind to rest. It is never easy leaving your pups behind, but they were in good hands with Sasha.”
“Ben waa promt arriving to care for our 3 month old puppy at pur hotel...aside from him suffering a puppy scratch, they had a great afternoon. Fritz was fed/watered/pottied/walked/played with and generally well cared for, for 6 hours! We give Ben ????? (5 paws/stars)!”
“Katy was extremely kind and communicative and Apollo loved her! She went above and beyond with leaving my house clean and sheets washed and trash taken out. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Maia was amazing - she helped us out in a pinch when we were already traveling. She’s clearly a cat person who cares about the pets she works with. We got plenty of photos of passed out cats enjoying their time with her!”
“Taylor was an excellent communicator while we were away. He provided consistent updates and was incredibly patient with our moody pup. I loved the photos that he sent during his stay, it was great to know that our pets were comfortable with him and thriving while we were gone.”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies!! Our dogs don’t normally love new people, but they loved Michael! He is so gentle and loving toward any dog. Additionally, he gave us daily updates with pictures and kept us in the loop with everything while he house sat for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AGAIN!!”
“Elsa was a great dog (x2) and house sitter! On pretty short notice took a one night house sit and took my two high energy pups for a very nice hike which was greatly appreciated!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Nederland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Nederland on Rover is $46.79 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,379 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nederland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Nederland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Nederland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Nederland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nederland. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
